I have yet to see and course of action suggested. I see a lot of sound bite responses like this one. In this situation given the circumstances what was your plan? This is giving you and everyone else the benefit of 20/20 hindsight~

Why couldn't they just wait outside the house? Even if an armed criminal is inside a house and the cops surround it knowing he is inside, what is the harm in waiting him out? Isn't that the safer alternative than barging a home anyway?

The Constition disallows quartering of soldiers too. Your home is your home. Either get a warrant or wait outside.

Because they don't have an infinite amount of cops. They can't just wait outside 1,000 houses if 1,000 idiots insist they can't search their house in a unique situation like this.

On this we agree. However they were not going door to door disarming people and were trying to locate a terrorist who set off a bomb and killed law enforcement officers. What would have been the proper course of action in your eyes~

Cops knock on the door. Individual inside answers it.

Cop: As I am sure you are aware we are conducting a man hunt for that little bastard that bombed the marathon the other day. He was last seen headed into this neighborhood. We would like your permission to check the house and the grounds for him.

Most people in this situation: Absolutely, anything I can do to help, officer.

Cops come in, ask if everyone would gather in the living room everyone and then proceed with their search.

If someone says no, you post people in position to view the property to make sure no one comes or goes while convince a judge for a search warrant.

The law says they need a warrant to search your home. That may be a trivial principle to you, but they are going to show me a warrant.

Because they don't have an infinite amount of cops. They can't just wait outside 1,000 houses if 1,000 idiots insist they can't search their house in a unique situation like this.

Fair point. I'll ask then why they're going door to door if they don't have te manpower to sweep every house. If as you say there are 1,000 homes you cannot check them all anyway. And the ones you do? Short search anyway where you could miss him.

Cop: As I am sure you are aware we are conducting a man hunt for that little bastard that bombed the marathon the other day. He was last seen headed into this neighborhood. We would like your permission to check the house and the grounds for him.

Yes, because there is an infinite supply of cops and and infinite amount of time to catch mass murdering terrorist.
